Lent
Welcome to Lent 2012. I enter the season with high expectations, more so than usual. I can't identify the source of my optimism, but maybe the letters of Seneca are wearing on me well. Then again, Seneca counseled against hope, though, in his letter on groundless fears (Number 13, I think; maybe number 12) he permits hope if a person needs it to act as a counterpoise to fear.
None of that is really relevant, though. The time to repent is at hand, and we all have plenty to repent. Forty days ain't enough time for all the work I have to do, but it'll give me (yet another) start.
May all TDE readers have a blessed Lent. With a dose of grace, I hope TDE will be a help in this regard and not a hindrance. We'll see.
